A Few Fun Xmas Things


Since Crew broke my camera a couple weeks ago, I have been in the process of getting a new camera and learning how to work it, so I have not got too many pics.And the ones I have got, were either on my phone or Corey's IPAD. So here are a few fun things we have done this holiday season so far. 

Taking Pics by MY grandparents graves and leaving some holidays decorations to honor them!


The 3 older kids making gingerbread houses. (We put Crew to bed. This is not a task for a young one. Last year Casen stuck a candy up his nose and it made for a long night.) Making this little gingerbread village was quite the task. I have found that I do not have as much patience as I get older. I about gave up on these little houses. Corey had to step in. They were falling apart and I was sick of doing them all myself. I threw a little tantrum saying "These are not even my gingerbread houses. Help me out a little." I don't even like gingerbread houses. They are hard. They are messy. We have no where to put them when we are done. And the kids just pick at them for 2 weeks and make a mess. I think next year, we will just stick to the milk carton gingerbread houses I use to do as a kid. Way easier! Do I sound like scrooge? Sorry I am still having flashbacks from that night and they are a PAIN!


This was the finished product and the next morning OUR LITTLE ELF, MR. PEEPS was getting into it!


I took my two older kids to go and see The Christmas Elf Play that they do up at the University. (It is put on by the Pickleville Playhouse) It is their favorite and mine too. It is so funny! One of these years, we will get Matt to go. But Cade sat on Santa's lap and told him what he wanted. Corey is TOO OLD. She gets embarrassed!


Just getting ready for play to start!

Excited to LAUGH!
